It’s 3:01 AM so, of course, I’m awake and writing. Generalized Anxiety Disorder is an evil motherfucker. I suppose I could have burned it off on the elliptical, but first I’d have to rummage around in the dark for my kicks, and there’s no way Bubba would stay asleep through that; I am so not ninja.
I’m listening to “Good and Mad” by Rebecca Traister and “Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower” by Brittney Cooper. Both women explore the revolutionary power of female rage. The authors are fantastic; the books are illuminating.
In Trump’s America, we women have a mega fuck-ton of injustices about which to be angry. The Kavanaugh appointment is just the latest insult. Republicans have cast aside all pretenses that anything other than protecting the White Male Patriarchy motivates them. The GOP is in full-on assault mode against the civil rights for which women and People of Color have bled. Pull on your big girl panties, Ladies, breaking down the White Male Patriarchal Power is not for ‘pussies’ and ‘bitches.’ Or is this EXACTLY who will save our Democracy?
